You need not take my word for it.? When you listen to political pundits, many of who lean left, but still value objectivity, there is portion of the democratic party who push an agenda that most Americans are racist.? We are not racist, we are tolerant, but we may adhere to a different set of values, which are more conservative than those of the extreme end of the party. That does not mean we are racist.
I disagree with this....what is happening is that many are finally understanding what "structural racism" is.? And all of us white folk have benefited from advantages that we took for granted, advantages based on the fact that we are white.? This is the truth.? There was an awakening in this country after George Floyd....millions of white people couldn't imagine this tragedy happening to them, because it wouldn't have.? It's opened up discussions.? I'm pretty sure if Kyle Rittenhouse were black, he'd be in prison right now.? Just sayin'.??

The democrats need to move away from this unrelenting focus on gender issues, on race issues, on peripheral issues, and refocus on what has always been their strength, which is working class people.? And also recognize, that if you don't have boundries, you don't have a country.

Until that happens, they are going to lose elections.
What funny about this is that "working class people" is exactly what the Progressives are focused on.? I have no idea what news you're watching, but whatever it is, they want you to believe it's these other things.??
